Wickard v. Filburn.

Wickard has been a precedent for so many other poor decisions that the cascade effect has to be considered.

What a bunch of Potheads we have on this forum.

You guys are really just upset at Gonzales v. Raich. Damn the government for not letting you grow pot for your "personal use."

[/ QUOTE ]

You really are an authoritarian and have much more in common with thugs like Castro than you realize.

And if you support BOTH ending the drug war AND eliminating New Deal nonsense, Wickard v. Filburn is easily one of the worst cases of the century.

Just so long as everyone here is clear that your primary target is the New Deal.

I was referring to the overextension of the commerce clause and what it did to states rights. The marijuana thing means nothing to me.

The New Deal paved the way for the drug war.

And I guess you're making it clear you're willing to sacrifice any amount of freedom and any number of citizens as long as broad federal power is preserved for socialist legislation.

And you're wrong, I despise the drug war more than social security, but just barely.

Only in the sense that the New Deal built the middle class in this country, which then turned toward increasingly reactionary politics.

The new deal didn't build the middle class. Free enterprise did. Businesses did. The new deal was a failed depression era social program whos deficiet based programs like social security threaten to bankrupt our next generation.

Compare the fortunes of the middle class during 1890-1920 vs the middle class of 1940-1970. It's simply no contest. By any measure, the progressive policies of the New Deal proved FAR better for the middle class than the laissez-faire policies of the era that preceded this (and which ultimately culminated in the Great Depression, bread lines, and the ruination of millions).


q/q

Yeah, there weren't any food lines during World War II. There wasn't rationing or anything.
